valve is fixable/replaceable??

the valve for my 2010 tsx is broken and I was wondering if anyone knows any cheap ways to fix it because I heard it is very expensive.

are you speaking about the over head engine valves?
we simply need more information on what you did/how the valves were damaged.
Do you have the 4 cylinder 6MT? Did you over-rev/perform the money shift?
Did you suck up water?

How do you know the valves in the head are damaged?
we simply need to know everything that happened/ How you came to this conclusion

But the answer is probably "no".

If whut ever it is what is broken is supposed to be an expensive fix... There is likely not a cheap fix.

Well, maybe there is a cheap fix, but it's probably not a good fix; ala, "turn up the radio".

But yeah... What "valve"?

Maybe get a used cylinder head from a salvage dealer or eBay. A coworker of mine bent some valves when the timing belt snapped on his 4 cylinder '02 accord and we just put on a used head. It's not a simple job but it was only about $150 with the head and gasket. I'd imagine a mechanic would charge 4 hours of labor or so? Maybe more. It took us about 6. We put on the new belt, cleaned up the piston heads and a bunch of other things while we were at it. New coolant, oil, adjusted valves on the used head. Runs like a kitten now

That's what I did as well.
I found some Acura heads that fit my car and installed them myself

I have an automatic. a mechanic just told me that the timing chain is fucked and thats why my car isn't starting. he also mentioned I had metal in my oil so idk if that info will help. the valves are ruined that I would have to replace it or just buy a new engine.

nope.. never mind. How many miles? What did you do? You gotta learn to post a bunch of information in your thread if you want substantial and constructive advice, not just "my shit broke, how fix yo?"
